it doesn't get attention, because inside the beltway, the fixation is on deficit reduction, and that's not just among conservatives but centrists who somehow buy the idea that government is going to crush us if we don't immediately and drastically cut now. i don't think they want to cut as much as rand paul wants to cut. and you were right to highlight that part of his budget, increasing the retirement age and privatizing medicare, because i think that's the part of his budget that's going to really crash his 2016 hopes. but to get back to 2014, you know, it's going to be up to obama, particularly, to lead the charge. he's going to have to get out there and get in front and put his political capital on the line to make sure that democrats can win seats. and he and other democrats have to stop talking about the federal budget as if it's a family budget. it's not. it just isn't. they can't use that metaphor, ever again. >> heather mcgee and michael tomasky, let us stop talking of deficits and let us start talking of jobs. thank you for your time tonight. >> amen. >>> in a country rocked
